🌡️ HOT WEATHER FACT: Alcohol can stay in your system longer in summer — here’s why! 🍻⚠️
Most people have no idea how much the heat changes the way alcohol affects the body.
But with December parties, long days, and extreme NQ temperatures, this is something every worker should know:

🔥 1️⃣ Dehydration slows down alcohol removal
In hot weather, your body loses water fast.
Less water = alcohol becomes more concentrated.
More concentrated = it can take longer to clear from your system.
Yes — even the next morning.

🔥 2️⃣ Heat makes alcohol hit harder
The body is already stressed by the heat.
Add alcohol and you get:
× slower reaction times
× reduced focus
× higher fatigue
Even with the same amount of alcohol, the heat can make you feel (and test) more impaired.

🔥 3️⃣ Your body prioritises cooling, not processing alcohol
When it’s hot, the body diverts energy to staying cool.
This can reduce the liver’s ability to break down alcohol efficiently.
Result: alcohol stays around longer than you think.

We’re here throughout December (closed only Christmas Day)
✔️ 24/7 call outs
✔️ Random & for-cause testing
✔️ Post-incident
✔️ Return-to-work
✔️ Pre-employment & contractor screening

🎄✨ One Month Until Christmas… and the busiest safety season has officially begun.

From now until Christmas, workplaces across North Queensland feel the pressure rise — longer days, heavier workloads, tighter deadlines and end-of-year fatigue.
And when fatigue rises, risk rises.

That’s why today, 25 November, is the perfect time to ask:
👉 Is your workplace prepared heading into December?
👉 Are your drug & alcohol testing schedules up to date?
👉 Do you have support in place if an incident occurs after hours?

At Drug & Alcohol Testing NQ, we’re helping local businesses stay safe and compliant with:
✔️ Random onsite testing
✔️ Pre-employment screening
✔️ For-cause & post-incident testing
✔️ 24/7 rapid response call-outs
✔️ Fully mobile testing across Townsville & North Queensland

A safe team is a strong team — and it ensures everyone gets home to celebrate Christmas with the people they love. ❤️💚

If your business needs December bookings or a safety plan refresh, we’re here to support you.
